Paul, paul, paul.. You've been in the game long enough. You've also established a reputation for being one of the only gun guys (if not the only) who knows how to create a detailed, educated, non-biased video for either reviewing or comparing two or more variables (guns, ammunition, and the like). Now, why haven't we seen an in-depth .45 acp vs 9mm comparo? I'm sure everyone would love to see a Paul Harrel approach on this topic i.e. educated, non-biased, and most importantly, non-toxic way of creating content about the comparison! :) Give this a thumbs up if you agree so Paul can see this comment and hopefully consider it!

[@elgringosupremo]

He has said before that he has no interest in making videos on things that have been done to death by others. I agree with him on this. I really don’t know what revelations you could expect to get from one more comparison. 45 has more recoil, makes bigger holes, and the guns generally have lower capacity. 9 has less recoil, makes smaller holes, and the guns generally have higher capacity. There’s your comparison. Anything beyond that is something you could infer from that info, or anecdotal.

[@kirkalley3469]

True he seems fair in his testing. After all he could use a tough steak for the meat target when shooting federal ammo then switch to a pile of raw hamberger when testing green and white box🤔

Always interesting. The last video I watched was Paul cleaning guns. I rank that one a little higher. Why? Because Paul talked more. I did not get my fill of Shatner-like pauses this week.

[@jesteravrgjoe2888]

The answer is in the difference in metallurgy. Tool steel creates more drag on the projectile than stainless. The chrome mixture in stainless makes for a slicker barrel when compared to the high carbon tool steel. Another variable is tool fatigue. Hammer forged barrels are made on a mandrel. At the end of the life of the mandrel. The rifling, and barrel can be less desirable. A more accurate barrel is made at the beginning of the life of the mandrel. The better definition of rifling allows for the shooter to break in the rifle barrel into a sweet spot where the rifling, and round meet perfectly for better accuracy, or in the case of precision shooting. Where the barrel, and ammunition allows for consistent pressures leading to consistent accuracy.

[@ostiariusalpha]

There are also slight differences in bore tightness between manufacturers and even individual firearms.

Fine firearms all! However, I really admire your pair of Remington Nylon 66’s. The Nylon ‘66 brings back great memories. It was truly a rifle way ahead of its time. My only bittersweet memory involving my personal Nylon ‘66 was in trading mine away years ago while a young Marine for partial payment toward a first generation Colt AR rifle. ‘Semper Fi’. Joseph S.,100% Combat-related Disabled Veteran.

[@2dAnglicoSix]

Matt Schmitt ... You’re welcome! Obviously, I didn’t pay the greatest price because I am still alive. However, I was virtually bed-ridden for nearly a decade. The God of Scripture along with Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth ultimately healed me and I am now able to enjoy life once again. The decade lost will remain lost. One of the reasons that I support DJT (as compared to the alternatives) is that he has promised to bring the US troops home from Afghanistan by the end-of-the-year. FYI, the war in Afghanistan is NOW our Nation’s longest war! With Osama bin Laden dead, we accomplished the principle purpose in our initial involvement. The lives and limbs lost by our service-members remain a permanent scar. Even if we stayed there 27 years (instead of 17) when we leave... Afghanistan will remain Afghanistan. It has NO impact to the direct security of our Nation, infrastructure, or our people. Politicians from BOTH parties have been complicit! Defend the homeland is DOD’s constitutional charter.

[@clintonr9804]

Thank you for your service, and all you have given for everyone, here and abroad. My first was a green Nylon 66 given to me by my dad when he first taught me how to shoot in the '60's. It was stolen from the family farm by a renter we took pity on. Twenty years later, I purchased my own brown 66, which I used to teach my daughter and son to shoot not long ago. It will not be going anywhere. Years after my dad died, my mother decided "it wouldn't be safe" for me to keep firearms as I had children in the house. She gave away his Snub-nosed 38 Police Special, a 22 auto, and other weapons I had been promised. My kids were more knowledgeable and trustworthy around firearms than she ever was!

[@2dAnglicoSix]

Clinton R , Thank-you for those kind words! It really means more to me than words can ever express. The Department of Defense (DOD) serves little real purpose were it not for a citizenry that is truly worth protecting, such as yourself! Finally, may you continue to be blessed by the wisdom you have shown in teaching your children respect for tools that can either save lives or take lives. In doing so, you have supported our God-given 2A rights, shown them an enjoyable potential future hobby, and removed the mysticism surrounding forbidden objects. Best regards, Joseph S.

[@garyK.45ACP]

2:29 Before you fire a shot... The answer, in my experience is "Yes, but..." In my collection I have 3 S&W J frame revolvers, all with 1-7/8" barrel, a Model 40, a Model 640 and a Model 642. I also had (now passed on to two sons) two identical Ruger Model 77 RSI rifles in .243 both with 18.5" barrels and I have two Kimber Ultra .45s an Ultra Carry II and an Ultra CDP II, both with 3" barrels. I have 2 identical Colt Officer's Model Match Revolvers both with 6" barrels. I also have 4 .357 revolvers with 4" barrels but they are different makes or models. I have several O/U shotguns but have never tried the chrono test with them, or, for that matter any of my other shotguns. In ALL of them, identical ammunition fired over my PACT Model 1 Chronograph result in different velocity averages...and in the case of the Ruger rifles, one of them shoots consistently "faster" with any load I have tried through them. BUT...the velocity averages, while different, almost always fall within the "extreme spread" of the two guns. Meaning that individual shots from the same gun can, and do, result in variances as great, or greater, than the average difference between two different guns. So...YES, but the difference is negligible, IMO. Back to the video...your J frames had an average velocity difference of 46 fps but extreme spreads of 96 and 84 fps respectively. Your tests with the other guns confirmed that. So your results were consistent with what I have found. Different...BUT negligible.

[@kentuckybackwoods7114]

I've had firearms of the same model and configuration shoot completely differently. This especially true when pattering shotguns for turkeys with different ammo and choke tubes. I've also noticed a difference in older firearms vs newer ones of the same model caliber/gauge. Of course this is affected by barrel life and manufacturing processes over the years. It would not surprise me if two firearms directly off the assembly line with one different digit in serial number would shoot differently to some minor degree. This goes back to the age old rule of knowing your shooting habits and knowing your firearms "pull." Surprisingly, I do have a colt snubby and s&w snubby that do practically shoot identically at least in my hands. Go figure.

[@buckberthod5007]

My theory is tolerances in the gun, if one gun has a better gas seal then the other it could build more pressure to propel the round at a higher velocity and variances in the rounds themselves due to primer burn and power burn. But as always, you be the judge.

[@thomaswashburn3513]

I totally agree. If one firearm is shot a lot more than another, it will effect the tightness of the bullet in the barrel as well. A tighter barrel fit may sound like more friction, but more friction is better than some gas escaping around a bullet (too loose for the barrel). I have a Winchester 1873 made in 1888 that always keyholes. My guess is the barrel is way out of tolerance, thus allowing a lot of the gases to escape before the round is out of the barrel. But, it’s still fun to shot something made almost a century and a half ago.

[@brazoon1]

Conversely, if the seal was a little too tight it could cause extra friction which would slow down the bullet.

[@thomaswashburn3513]

brazoon1 I have been told to “shoot in” a firearm with a few hundred rounds as soon as I get it. There opinion was: There is a sweet spot.

Awesome video with some great insights! Very interesting to see these differences

[@tonyv8925]

That was a great video. I just enjoyed you shooting various models and calibers. Thank you for this presentation.

[@drklop]

Did Model 36 have significantly more rounds fired through it than Model 638 over its lifetime? I wonder if barrel wear was the key factor that caused the difference.

[@joebob4609]

I will try this at home. No I wouldn’t Paul said NO.

[@alniles3183]

as always, an excellent, well thought out and presented video

[@squirrelwesson3969]

Paul's videos are always worth the watch if you actually care about interesting facts and questions he's trying to bring clarity to. I can see this having a follow up video breaking down and explaining WHY there can be a difference between different firearms from different manufacturers that are similar in spec but achieving different velocities. In the case of revolvers, I suspect it has a lot to do with the cylinder gap and cylinder length possibly.

[@sawyernorthrop4078]

Given that the firearms tested are revolvers, is it possible that differences in the amount of cylinder gap provided varying pressures from the same ammunition, giving different velocities?

[@jorgesolis9468]

Forcing cone as well could be applied also I believe

[@ravissary79]

Yup and these vary from sample to sample even in identical models.

[@jorgesolis9468]

@@ravissary79 what about barrel material

[@ravissary79]

@@jorgesolis9468 pretty much any difference can cause a variance in velocity.

With all the trashy crap on KZbin and all over the news right now, I need some calming, relaxing educational content. So here I am.

[@richarddavis1884]

Good information as always. Thanks Paul!

Paul, very informative as always. You're the go to guy for...complete information on pretty much anything related to firearms. You are very exacting with your facts and figures. That I appreciate very much.

You want to see something funny? Watch the guys with the beards put one of those little Beretta Cheetahs 380s back together by racking it 50 times untill it will allow them to close the slide release. It's good for a quick laugh. I should make a video for them but it's just too funny to mess up.

[@retailwarrior1502]

When you use multiple projectile shells with the chronograph, how does it take its measurements? Does it read the first projectile, the last projectile, the fastest, the slowest, the wad because its biggest? Maybe it takes an average of all the projectiles.

[@PaulHarrell]

At the close distance that I am shooting, the shot column is sill together enough to be measured as one projectile. At longer ranges we get more readings of "error" and more damage to the chrono

[@asmith7876]

Ruger sells pairs of sequential revolvers for cowboy action shooting...but to get a pair simply by accident???????????? Truly a charmed man! Deservedly so, great video as always!

[@billystink4611]

They say to “slug your bore” when hand loading for a new firearm to properly measure the exact bore diameter. Maybe the slight differences in bore diameters are causing the different results? I don’t know, just a thought. I’m new to hand loading and not any kind of expert.

[@yfelwulf]

Good if your casting your own bullets and want a perfect fit. If you want to measure exact chamber size. There is a quick melt metal you can use to cast your chamber. www.rotometals.com/chamber-casting-alloy-ingot-aka-low-158-190f/

[@PS-rr2jt]

I slugged my m44 to determine which bullet diameter to use. I can’t use the .308, have to use .311 or .312. My barrel averaged .3115.

[@gundude82]

@@PS-rr2jt What kind of accuracy are you getting? I love my mosins, but never considered them very accurate rifles.

[@PS-rr2jt]

2.5 moa with my reloads, so not terrible, but not great either. I’m still playing with load development. Right now I’m working with Hornady #3131 and Sierra #2315 174gr bullets. It took several attempts at cleaning the bore when I first got the rifle to get all the copper out of it. If nothing else, it’s just fun to go out and shoot the thing.

[@OhioCruffler]

Yes, bore diameter can make a big difference in velocities.

[@NomadicHacker.]

Very informative. Thanks for putting the time in to make this video

[@Korellix125]

After watching a lot of your videos and hearing you discuss this topic a lot it took me a while to watch this. Such small differences can come from a multitude of different things. As always though, we can rely on you to put it to the test.

[@apathy2673]

I got a lot of "you're an idiot" looks when I would ask this.

[@Xictlii]

some very concerned citizens questioned my governor if coronavirus only targetted the LGBTQ, so I doubt that this question is that "dumb".

[@maxlutz3674]

Many people do not think that far. When you question things that are taken for granted, the fault is assumed to be with you. That applies to advertised velocities too. The question is legit even if there was no difference. On a similiar topic I know some shooters who got an answer to the question "Does temperature affect velocities?". It was fairly inconvenient as it was at a competion on a cold day and the answer was "Yes. And you are disqualified because the velocity of your rounds is too low.". Though luck as they chronographed their ammo on a nice warm day.

Only 3 minutes old and still 352 viewers before me....damn LOL

[@mattevans-koch9353]

Thank you Paul for this very enlightening video. You have answered a question I'm sure many have never thought about but can make a difference when selecting more than one firearm for a common ammunition. Also, I thought your were a very lucky individual when you held up two Remington Nylon 66 rifles, but when you pulled out two Ruger Vaqueros with consecutive serial numbers I realized you were truly blessed by the firearm gods. Take care, stay well and keep bringing us the good information on firearms and ammunition.

[@charleshanna2089]

Great Video as always Paul Thank you for everthing that you do

[@JohnLloydScharf]

I weighted several rounds of the same ammo and they differed as much as a grain. If it was the projectile, that would not be significant. If it was the powder inside, it might be critical.

[@sanguinemoon9201]

@rogerwilco99 They typically all come from the same batch so you are correct. Though I have found obviously different ammo in bulk packs. I suspect that is because someone tossed stuff lying around in with the regular batch. That, or the distributor had stuff fall off the shelf and got mixed up when they put it back in boxes.

[@senya6095]

rogerwilco99 rogerwilco99 This makes me think of one of the times Paul tested Underwood Superior High Performance ammo, and got some insanely consistent velocity numbers. I can't recall the specific video it was in, but I believe all of the velocity readings were within 1-2% of each other.

[@joseescamilla2152]

Paul Harrel for PRESIDENT he will test everting and you be the judge!!!!

[@OGSontar]

So, I watched this video when it came out in October of 2020, and it popped up in my feed again in April of 2021. Paul has me so well conditioned, that even though I remembered it, I still clicked on it and watched it to the end. Thanks, Paul! It appears your training of us is highly successful. Your video shows up, we click and watch. Where that video is in the list of your videos makes no significant difference at all.
